Also get him when he's really tired and worn down.
Jared Dudley knows how to stop Manu Ginobili — ask Twitter
By Trey Kerby
Ball Don't Lie
Manu Ginobili has been running things as of late. In the Spurs' last 10 games, he's averaged a shade over 25 points a game and knocked down at least two threes each night. In four of those games, Charles Barkley's favorite player scored 30 or more points, including a season high of 43 against the Magic. In completely related news, the Spurs won eight of those games. Not a bad couple of weeks.
So going in to the Phoenix Suns' matchup with Ginobili and the Spurs, Jared Dudley knew he had to do something. Somehow, he needed to shut down this scoring machine. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so Dudley did what we all do when we need answers — he took to Twitter.
After some responses, Dudley summed up the fans' defensive plans.Got the hated spurs tonight lol.. Have to find a way to slow down Ginoblii.. He's been on a tear lately.. How should we guard him tonight?

Amazingly, it worked. Ginobili scored only 10 points on 5-14 shooting, made no three-pointers, and had two turnovers in the Spurs loss. It was his worst game in a month and third lowest scoring output since the All-Star break. See Detroit, this is how you harness the power of social networking.So what I'm getting from y'all is make him go right, be physical with him, and keep him out the lane.Ok ok I'll let my teammates know.Thanks
Hopefully, crowdsourcing game plans is the next big Twitter craze. I don't know about you, but I anxiously await the day when you can look at Twitter's top trending topics and see "#howtostopLeBron" and "#thisishowyoubeattheNuggets" alongside "#JustinBieberRocks." It's a pipe dream for now, but this is a good first step.

helps when you havent played a game in 4 days and you're playing a team that is on back to backs. jared dudley is a tool
Tony Parker is playing tonight. That means we don't have to worry about Ginobili anymore.

Holy s*** really?
Jared Dudley is a terrible basketball player. What a punk . I REALLY want the Suns in the playoffs.
What's funny is you know some losers actually thought the suns player gave a about what they said. Make him go to his non dominant hand, keep him out of the lane, and be physical.You know what other players that genius strategy would work on? EVERYONE
actually Manu started slowing down in the Sacto game. Just worn out. He will recharge after the road trip and be fine.
"Always ensure that you play the Spurs when they are playing back-to-back".
"Don't try all the advice you receive in a playoff game. Manu will get by you and make a fool of you".
calm down folks, this was in good fun
let me see......spurs back 2 back on the road.....suns 2 days off and at home?.....who has the major advantage.....suns.....spurs look fatigue last night and the suns had more engery....all I can say is lakers,cavs,orlando,celtics.......spurs are better than the suns
wow....
And
Props to Dudley.. he's the new 08 Vujacic
jared dudley still plays lmao
What? It's funny. And there is truth to it. At least as much as the fact that it was a back to back, etc.
Some truth in there.
Agreed.
And
If it were a playoff game Manu would have wrecked him.
Dudley's a good guy, with a good sense of humor and, unlike a lot of players, he actually 'gets it'.
, the guy was lobbying to be drafted by the Spurs because of the respect he had for the team and the belief that he could be a great role player in their system.
Matt Moore is fanning the flames more than anything Dudley had to say. As has been mentioned, it was all in good fun; something he wouldn't have been having a lot of if he wasn't facing a dead-legged Ginobili . . .
Props to Dudley.. he's the new 08 Vujacic
Damn you are one really pissed off Nazi sympathizer after the game last night.
I would make an announcement this was obviously a joke but the first people in this thread who did obviously didn't stop you guys from being defensive.
Great sense of humor, connects with his fans, approachable by all accounts, gives respect to all of his opponents, isn't dirty, fan favorite, gives great interviews, locker room "glue guy", hits big shots in the 4th quarter, not afraid of anyone, regularly defends the best player on the opposing team, hustles his ass off every night, etc.
I mean, I could go on if you'd like.
lol
Dudley is cool and I'd love him to be a Spur. great defender and high% three point shooter... YOU with your Nazi comment and personal attack... you're still a lil loser punk who doesn't dare to post under his own nickname so you jo with your life-full pathetic avatar
Everything you just mentioned could be said about 90% of players
Right.
